LANGSDALE, Mary Roberts - Putnam

Indianapolis Journal. August 29 -- Mrs. Langsdale, wife of George J. Langsdale, formerly president of the monument commission, died at her home on north Meridian street, corner of Pratt, yesterday afternoon at five o’clock. She was surrounded at the time by her husband and four children John Whitset, her sister, conscious until the last and died without pain. The illness, which began about six months ago, was cancer of the stomach, and her decline has been steady ever since, though she did not give up hope until yesterday morning. The fatal turn for the worse occurred about three o’clock in the morning, and she lingered during the day, being kept alive only by the use of stimulants. Her daughter, Mrs. A. J. Beveridge, was prostrated by the blow and required the services of a physician last night. Mr. Beveridge, who has been in Massachusetts. was telegraphed and will arrive tomorrow. The funeral will probably occur tomorrow afternoon at the house. It will he private, as will also the interment at Crown Hill cemetery. Mrs. Langsdale was born in Kentucky, but came to this city in her early life. Her father, whose name was Roberts, was Theodore P. Haughey’s first partner in the milling business in this city. She was once teacher in the high school. Her marriage with Mr. Langsdale occurred thirty-three years ago Aug. 19, and the anniversary was observed at her home with the four living children and many other friends present. The event was thoroughly enjoyed by Mrs. Langsdale, she entering heartily into the pleasures of the day. During life she was a member of the Methodist church, worshipping with the Meridian street congregation. W. B. Roberts, formerly private secretary to Governors Hovey and Chase, is her brother.- kbz
